The New York state Democratic
convention met at Saratoga on the

resolutions In memory OF Tilden, Sey-
mour, Hendricks, Mcclellan and
Hancock were adopted. A resolution

treasury under Manning passed amid
cheers. The platform was then read
by Ex-Governor Dorsheimer. The

plause, and continued for several min.
utes. though that In regard to the
President was most tumulious.
Planks relating to the civil service,
canals and the liquor traffic were also
received with great applause. The
platform was adopted unanimously.
An attempt to add another resolution
was amid laughter referred to the com.
mittee on resolutions. The fret plank
Of the platform Is as follows: THE
unnecessary taxation of the last fiscal
year exceeded 800, OO0, 900. Unneces-
sary taxation Is unjust taxation.
Therefore the Democrats Of New York
demand that federal taxation be re.
duced by q sun not less than 100000

urge upon Congress that a measure
shall be adopted which will In the
language of the Presidents inaugural
address, relieve the people of unnece,'

the capital IN vested and the working
men employed In American indus.

should be forthwith remedied or re.

the cost to "a ~wage-workers of the

price of the common daily clothing OF
our people. Besides these three there
are several hundred articles among
the 4,ls2 articles now taxed which
should be swept off the tax list into

The Sioux Falls Press, which assumes
to be authority regarding the intentions
OF Governor Church, further assumes
that Commodore Coulson, OF Yankton,
will not be appointed territorial treas
urer. The Press bases it's opposition to
Commodore Coalson's appointment Up.
on the supposition that the territorial
funds will be deposited in the First
National bank OF Yankton if Conlson is
treasurer. The First National OF YaDk.
ton is solid institution and would
safely care for the public funds, which
must be placed in some depository
Yankton is ready to compare records
with Sioux Falls relative to the standing
Of its financial institutions and to assert
that its First National is as safe bani
es Dakota possesses.

DAKOTA LEGISLATORS.
Arrivals at Bismarck and Prcbnbiii-.
ties orthe.0rganizatfOn. or


Bismarck, OAK, Jan. 7--About dozen
members OF the legislature and twenty
or thirty of the third noussn arrived to-
day, with the usual spriukHng ui candi-
dates Tor cterkships aud minor lthces.
Old soldiers looking tor places meet
mem bars as they arrive uuu exhibit their
badges. Even the clergy have caught
the spirlt, aud tho contest ior chaplain
promises to be as exciting as that oI any
other othce. The luterest now eenters
in the Organization of the legislature,
and those who are carrying the greatest
burden of care are the candidates. Tue
important Offices are those OF president
of the council and speaker OF the house,
and the candidates are now in the field.
T. j. McCumber, who proved to be one
OF the ablest men upon the floor OF the
last house, is candidate for president
of the council, and if the forces are
properly propped he will be successful.
He is popular with the people,
and has a record whlch
gives good foundation for his claims.
Mr. Matthews of BrookIngs has good
following, and will also make IL vigorous
fight for the place. Mr.. Washabaugh,
member from Deadwood, is also after
the presidency, and although he is q
good worker and a popular gentleman,
it is feared he will be dlstanced in the
race, in which event Judge Moody will
be disappointed. For speaker Of the
house there are two candidates now In
the feld-Hon. q. A. Williams OF this
city and Feank Aiken of Canton. AK, n
is supported by the Canton Advocate,
which advocates immediate removal Of
the capital to Yankton, and speaks OF
northern members as gang of cor
ruptionists. cowboys and Esquimaux.'
This is not calculated to help Aiken's
chances. Tbs central Dakota members
are at jamestown tonight, and will
arrive tomorrow. 1t is believed they
have organized, and will demand one OF
the important positions, Probably the
speakership. For the chief clerkshlp OF
the council the following are known
candidates; A. w. Howard OF Yank-
ton, who held that position two years
ago; Judge j. r. Bennett, the mammoth.
lunged gentleman from Clark; Ted
Kipgsbury of Watertowp, who has had
the position several times; Gen. j ohm IS
Dennis OF Yankton, commander of the
| territorial military; Ed Smith Of Ellen
dale, o, +. Mallahan of Elk Point, Bot
| Wallace 0f jamestown and w. e. Dew,

Among the important bills already farm
ed to be fired in the council the first day
is railroad bill prepared by Council

lates:
While Day was given to understand
that he was largely controlling the des-
TIMES of Dakota democrats and haunt
ing the rooms of officials of the interior
department, Gov, Ordway has been q
frequent visitor to the white house, and
many appointments which MIR. Day has
attributed to the presidents Independ-
dence, am told, were made on the ad
vice of Ordway, who republican though
he be, is trusted for his thorough knowl-
edge of Dakota affairs more than any
other man.
This announcement chat Ordway has
opened an office brokerage establish
ment in Washington is probably thrown
out for the purpose of catching suckers.
Democrats in search of positions who
are desirious of operating through the
Ordway office will please send the cash
along with their orders. There is a
probability that they may not get the
sought for positions and o dead Ger:
tainty that they will never see theii
money again.

Dakota's legislature will assemble in
biennial session tomorrow for meeting
which will last until the 10th of March,
it the entire sixty days permitted by
United States law is consumed This is
the first Dakota legislature to assemble
since the adoption of the amendment to
the organic act which prohibits special
legislation. Heretofore our territorial
}a~ majors have devoted much of their
time to the enactment of laws of local
effect only and have usually spent fully
one-half of O session in the construction
OF combinations including an assortment
of local measures and such general laws
as the manipulators saw fit to admit into
the arrangement. After the combina-
tion was completed legislation was
rapidly disposed of and ali measures
proposed by those in the deal were
passed without regard TO their merits or
dement's. The removal of the cause of
such combinations will change the
aspect of future legislative operations
and Dakota can look for new departure
in its law making department.
Considerable interest is conferred IN
the organization to be perfected to.

aspirunts for ths presidency in the
